Circle Geometry Functions
In this challenge we will create a library of functions to apply the different formulas based on the geometry of circles. For each function, you will need to design the algorithm using either Pseudo-code or a flowchart, implement the function…
Radians to Degrees Conversions
The radian is a unit of measure for angles used mainly in trigonometry. It is used as an alternative to degrees. Whereas, in degrees a full circle is 360 degrees, in radians a full circle is 2π radians: It is…
Triangle Geometry Functions
In this challenge we will create a library of functions to apply the different formulas based on the geometry of triangles. For each function, you will need to design the algorithm using either Pseudo-code or a flowchart, implement the function…
Heron’s Formula
The Heron’s formula is a famous formula used to calculate the area of a triangle based on the length of its three sides. It is called “Heron’s Formula” (sometimes called Hero’s formula) after Hero of Alexandria who was a Greek…
Linear Search Functions
For this programming challenge we will investigate different functions which will all be based on a linear search algorithm. Let’s consider a teacher who has decided to keep track of rewards issued to their students throughout the term by adding…
Leap Year Subroutine
A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day (29th of February) added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year (which contains roughly 365¼ days or 365.242375 days to be more…
Connect4 Challenge
In this blog post you will use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to complete this game of connect 4 for two players. (Rules of the game) You will first need to reverse-engineer the code provided. The code so far is used…
Football Formation
The purpose of this challenge is to understand how subroutines (functions/procedures) are used in Python to create sections of code that can be called/reused many times within a program. Subroutines mean that a section of code can be identified using…
Cinema Booking Challenge
A cinema has created a booking system for their main theatre which consists of 48 seats, organised in 6 rows of 8 seats. To store information as to whether a seat is booked or available, the program uses a 2-dimensional…
